  • as frustrating

    I do not know Windows administration at all. So half of my frustration is definetly by the lack of knowledge.

    But I also am scratching my head about so many things that are not clear.\

    1. Let’s say you need to manage ~10 workstations with dozens of programs and tools installed and keep them up-to-date, what tools Windows have build in for that?\
    2. An update broke. On Linux there are wikis explaining exactly what command like “dnf update” do, what files are replaced and I can check logs. On Windows all I know is that update go to some % and rollback, how can I know more?




  • Syncthing is not a cloud storage or tool for sharing. It can be used like this on a stretch, but it’s a continuous two-way synchronization tool.

    I portrait it like this: select a folder on one device, select a folder on second device, Syncthing would keep their content synced as if there were one folder :).
    This is in contrast to Nextcloud that needs central location and user, to rsync that is oneshot and not two-way.


  • I love it. The only thing keeping me from switching is two-way sync. Or at least make apps updates edited photos.

    I keep photos of the current year on my phone and all photos on my computer. That’s because I want to edit them or use. Unfortunetly Immich currently is typical black hole, where I am expected to download file from cloud manually, then edit, then delete original, then patch creation date and then upload it again.
